But so, the user (and not only the unexperienced one) cannot tell if he can trust a program deleting "the safe way" without asking for "ldd <program>", because statically linked binaries would still unlink the old way. Or would not? Has the binary been linked with a libc-undelete or with a libc-oldway?
